Bioengineering Professor Trey Ideker Wins 2009 Overton Prize Bioengineering Professor Trey Ideker Wins 2009 Overton Prize March 13, 2009 Daniel Kane University of California, San Diego bioengineering professor Trey Ideker-a network and systems biology pioneer-has won the International Society for Computational Biology's Overton Prize. The Overton prize is awarded each year to an early-to-mid-career scientist who has already made a significant contribution to the field of computational biology. Trey Ideker is an Associate Professor of Bioengineering at UC San Diego's Jacobs School of Engineering, Adjunct Professor of Computer Science, and member of the Moores UCSD Cancer Center. He is a pioneer in using genome-scale measurements to construct network models of cellular processes and disease. His recent research activities include development of software and algorithms for protein network analysis, network-level comparison of pathogens, and genome-scale models of the response to DNA-damaging agents. "Receiving this award is a wonderful honor and helps to confirm that the work we have been doing for the past several years has been useful to people," said Ideker. "This award also provides great recognition to UC San Diego which has fantastic bioinformatics programs both at the undergraduate and graduate level. I could never have done it without the help of some really first-rate bioinformatics and bioengineering graduate students," said Ideker. Ideker is on the faculty of the Jacobs School of Engineering's Department of Bioengineering, which ranks 2nd in the nationfor biomedical engineering, according to the latest US News rankings. The bioengineering department has ranked among the top five programs in the nation every year for the past decade. The list of press releases (below) from UC San Diego's Jacobs School of Engineering provides a glimpse into Ideker's research program. Following the press release list is more information on Ideker's career and research profile-information excerpted from the International Society for Computational Biology's press release on the 2009 Overton Prize.

The International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB) press release on the 2009 Overton Prize-- excerpted below--provides an outline of Ideker's career path and a few of his research highlights. [At the University of Washington, Ideker]...began to model and analyze networks of molecular interactions using genome-scale measurements, an emerging field in which he became a pioneer. He was still a Ph.D. student when, in 2001, he published a classic paper [ in the journal Science ] demonstrating how biological networks are mapped and tested using a systems biology approach that has attracted well over 800 citations to date. He then took a fellowship at the prestigious Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research in Cambridge, Massachusetts before joining the faculty at UC San Diego in 2003, where he is now an associate professor. In recent years, Ideker has developed a number of influential bioinformatics methods and resources including Cytoscape, a widely used open source program for visualizing molecular networks. In 2003, his group was the first to demonstrate that protein networks can be aligned and compared across species, just like genome sequences. Since then, he has extended network comparison to incorporate many different interaction types, and used network-based methods to map the DNA damage response, compare host and pathogen networks, and classify diseases. Ideker has already received many honors and was recognized as one of the top 10 innovators of 2006 by MIT's Technology Review. Aviv Regev, the 2008 ISCB Overton Prize winner, commends the selection of Ideker for the 2009 award. "Trey's work has epitomized the power of integrating innovative computational methods with cutting-edge genomics. His pioneering work has set a model for doing systems biology that has been followed by numerous groups and has impacts for understanding the evolution of biological systems and for treating disease." The Overton Prize was established in 2001 in memory of G. Christian Overton, a major contributor to the field of bioinformatics and member of the ISCB Board of Directors who died suddenly the previous year. The prize is awarded for outstanding accomplishment to a scientist in the early- to mid-career who has already made a significant contribution to the field of computational biology. Previous recipients are Christopher Burge (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Boston, USA), David Baker (University of Washington, USA), W. James Kent (University of California, Santa Cruz, USA), Uri Alon (Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel), Ewan Birney (European Bioinformatics Institute, UK), Mathieu Blanchette (McGill University, Canada), Eran Segal (Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel), Aviv Regev (The Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT, USA). ISCB Awardrecipients are selected from among nominations received from the computational biology community. The awards committee thoroughly reviews the merits of all nominees and unanimously decides on a recommendation of each award winner to be approved by the ISCB president. Both awards will be presented at the Society's prestigious Annual International Conference on Intelligent Systems for Molecular Biology (ISMB), being held jointly with the European Conference on Computational Biology (ECCB) in Stockholm, Sweden, June 29-July 2. The International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB) serves over 2500 members from nearly 70 countries around the world by addressing scientific policies, providing access to high quality publications, organizing regional and international conferences, and serving as a portal to information about training, education, employment and news from related fields.

  • Applied Category Theory for Genomics – an Initiative
    Applied Category Theory for Genomics { An Initiative Yanying Wu1,2 1Centre for Neural Circuits and Behaviour, University of Oxford, UK 2Department of Physiology, Anatomy and Genetics, University of Oxford, UK 06 Sept, 2020 Abstract The ultimate secret of all lives on earth is hidden in their genomes { a totality of DNA sequences. We currently know the whole genome sequence of many organisms, while our understanding of the genome architecture on a systematic level remains rudimentary. Applied category theory opens a promising way to integrate the humongous amount of heterogeneous informations in genomics, to advance our knowledge regarding genome organization, and to provide us with a deep and holistic view of our own genomes. In this work we explain why applied category theory carries such a hope, and we move on to show how it could actually do so, albeit in baby steps. The manuscript intends to be readable to both mathematicians and biologists, therefore no prior knowledge is required from either side. arXiv:2009.02822v1 [q-bio.GN] 6 Sep 2020 1 Introduction DNA, the genetic material of all living beings on this planet, holds the secret of life. The complete set of DNA sequences in an organism constitutes its genome { the blueprint and instruction manual of that organism, be it a human or fly [1]. Therefore, genomics, which studies the contents and meaning of genomes, has been standing in the central stage of scientific research since its birth. The twentieth century witnessed three milestones of genomics research [1]. It began with the discovery of Mendel's laws of inheritance [2], sparked a climax in the middle with the reveal of DNA double helix structure [3], and ended with the accomplishment of a first draft of complete human genome sequences [4].

(Ph.D., Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology) A Computational and Evolutionary Approach to Understanding Cryptic Unstable Transcripts in Yeast Thesis Directed by Robin Dowell Cryptic unstable transcripts (CUTs) are a largely unexplored class of nuclear exosome degraded, non-coding RNAs in budding yeast. It is highly debated whether CUT transcription has a functional role in the cell or whether CUTs represent noise in the yeast transcriptome. I sought to ascertain the extent of conserved CUT expression across a variety of Saccharomyces yeast strains to further understand and characterize the nature of CUT expression. To this end I designed a Hidden Markov Model (HMM) to analyze strand-specific RNA sequencing data from nuclear exosome rrp6Δ mutants to identify and compare CUTs in four different yeast strains: S288c, Σ1278b, JAY291 (S.cerevisiae) and N17 (S.paradoxus).

  • Causal Queries from Observational Data in Biological Systems Via Bayesian Networks: an Empirical Study in Small Networks
    Causal Queries from Observational Data in Biological Systems via Bayesian Networks: An Empirical Study in Small Networks Alex White and Matthieu Vignes Abstract Biological networks are a very convenient modelling and visualisation tool to discover knowledge from modern high-throughput genomics and post- genomics data sets. Indeed, biological entities are not isolated, but are components of complex multi-level systems. We go one step further and advocate for the con- sideration of causal representations of the interactions in living systems. We present the causal formalism and bring it out in the context of biological networks, when the data is observational. We also discuss its ability to decipher the causal infor- mation flow as observed in gene expression. We also illustrate our exploration by experiments on small simulated networks as well as on a real biological data set. Key words: Causal biological networks, Gene regulatory network reconstruction, Direct Acyclic Graph inference, Bayesian networks 1 Introduction Throughout their lifetime, organisms express their genetic program, i.e. the instruc- tion manual for molecular actions in every cell. The products of the expression of this program are messenger RNA (mRNA); the blueprints to produce proteins, the cornerstones of the living world. The diversity of shapes and the fate of cells is a re- sult of different readings of the genetic material, probably because of environmental factors, but also because of epigenetic organisational capacities. The genetic mate- rial appears regulated to produce what the organism needs in a specific situation. We now have access to rich genomics data sets. We see them as instantaneous images of cell activity from varied angles, through different filters.
